11-21-2022 The Butterfly Nebula from Hubble Image Copyright: Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing: William Ostling Hubble Space Telescope Stars can make beautiful patterns as they age -- sometimes similar to flowers or insects. NGC 6302, the Butterfly Nebula, is a notable example. Though its gaseous wingspan covers over 3 light-years and its estimated surface temperature exceeds 200,000 degrees C, the aging central star of NGC 6302, the featured planetary nebula, has become exceptionally hot, shining brightly in visible and ultraviolet light but hidden from direct view by a dense torus of dust. This sharp close-up was recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope and is processed here to show off remarkable details of the complex planetary nebula, highlighting in particular light emitted by oxygen (shown as blue), hydrogen (green), and nitrogen (red). NGC 6302 lies about 3,500 light-years away in the arachnologically correct constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius).

I disagree with those who, in the midst of the storm, are saying that ‘we all are on our own’ -

It isn’t true. It can’t be true.

Need proof?

The Butterfly Nebula contains millions of stars and is literally ‘astronomically nextdoor’ 🙏🏽😌
